About Chiclet special needs

Chiclet is as tough as she is adorable. Once found dragging herself through the streets, paralyzed in her hind legs, she’s fought through more than most dogs ever will—a nightmarish bout with pyometra, dehydration, and a kidney infection. Now about 5, she still glows with a spark that’s impossible to ignore. This little French Bulldog is sweet with everyone and does great with other dogs. Wheels or not, nothing dampens her enthusiasm for life; she scoots around with determination and gets around well in her wheelchair. Chiclet does need a home ready to take on some daily care. Her bladder and bowels will need to be expressed several times each day. New to this? Guidance and support are promised every step of the way. Chiclet’s ideal adopter stays home or works flexible hours and either has special needs experience or a willingness to learn. She’ll give endless snuggles, smiles, and hope in return. Chiclet's journey started with hardship, but she is eager to share her sunshine with someone who sees the beauty in her resilience. Capricorns like Chiclet are famously persistent—and she’s pure proof of it. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
